However, fish don’t produce omega-3 fatty acids, they accrue meaningful levels due to their algae-rich diets. There are also growing concerns over the safety of fish due to the presence of heavy metals and other toxins. So what better way to get omega-3 fatty acids then from the original source itself? Pure Vegan’s DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) is an omega-3 fatty acid that is all vegan and derived from seaweed and algae in a gelatin free capsule. Most Americans take in far more of another essential fat, omega-6 fats—than they do omega-3 fats. On average, the typical American diet contains less than 100mg of DHA per day, well below the 220mg of DHA/day that is generally recommended. Although our bodies produce small amounts of DHA, the beneficial amounts must come from food and/or supplements. DHA is essential for the proper functioning of our brains. DHA in the diet improves learning ability, whereas deficiencies of DHA are associated with deficits in learning. Decreases in DHA in the brain are associated with cognitive decline during aging and with onset of sporadic Alzheimer disease. In older people, […]
